For your matter in Saudi Arabia: Challenge dismissal during sick leave with legal support attentive to your circumstances and rights. BaghdadiLaw handles objections, wage and compensation claims, negotiation and representation. Founded in 1957, our firm has handled more than 20,000 cases and legal consultations across its practice. Omar Al-Baghdadi leads the team with over 30 years of legal experience.
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to dismissal connected to sick leave, with detailed knowledge of the medical and employment chronology, termination reasons and affected financial rights. A Saudi dismissal occurring during illness requires a precise timeline: medical certification, leave used, employer knowledge and the stated reason for termination. Being ill at the time of dismissal and being dismissed because of illness are related but different factual questions.
Article 82 must be read with the relevant sick-leave rules and the actual termination ground. A work injury may also engage social-insurance procedures. Any compensation calculation follows the established breach and contract facts rather than illness alone. Identify any gap between the medical period, the request submitted and the employer’s attendance record. An absence coded as unauthorised may need to be reconciled with the certificate and its delivery.
We agree the work your matter needs: Correct leave records, challenge the stated reason or assess termination-related compensation where the facts support it. Medical treatment and benefits should be handled through their appropriate channels. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A medical-leave and dismissal chronology, record-discrepancy analysis and assessment of the supported employment claim.

Service content updated:
Labour Law Article 82 prohibits termination because of illness before the statutory leave periods are exhausted. Check the worker’s applicable regime, medical evidence and leave history; the protection should not be reduced to whether a sick note existed on one day.
Compare that reason with contemporaneous records and the illness timeline. Neither the label nor timing alone should be treated as conclusive.
Identify the injury-report and insurance status separately. The employment termination question may coexist with distinct occupational-injury benefits.
